Behind the Mythos

Lovecraft mentioned the Nameless Mist in a family tree of Cthulhu he jokingly wrote in a letter.

The Magnum Innominandum and The Nameless Mist were unified as the same entity later by other writers, notably by Lin Carter and by the Call of Cthulhu RPG. For this reason, Darkness is sometimes known as "Magnum Tenebrosum" or "The Unnamed Darkness" as a parallel to its sibling.
